Enjoy Saint-Hyacinthe

A jewel of Maskoutain architecture, the 1555 Public Market, located in the heart of downtown Saint-Hyacinthe, has opened its doors every day since 1830. The oldest market in Quebec and the only one to have retained its agri-food vocation! A true gourmet destination, meet the merchants and seasonal producers present under the marquise. Find the EXPRESSION contemporary art exhibition centre on the second floor of the market. You will therefore enjoy an experience full of gourmet and cultural flavours, imbued with the history of the place.

Experiencing La Rabouillère means discovering a different kind of family farm that offers farm tours, a gourmet shop and a sought-after country-style restaurant. Throughout your visit, you’ll discover the gardens and animals, the history of the farm, and local produce. You’ll be able to see the farmyard, which is home to around forty varieties of birds and a dozen breeds of rabbits, and look at the rabbits’ nests—there are sure to be some little rabbits to cuddle!

From July 24 to August 2, 2025, the Expo agricole de Saint-Hyacinthe will entertain you for 10 days with a program that will reach young and old.
